Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Bagwell, TX.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Bagwell who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
